ton. have made arrangements for a
musical entertainment and blow gun
contest to come off on Wednesday eve
ming, March s, at the residence of ii.

The liquor suits which were held be- |
fore Justice Effrick last Wednesday re-
suited in favor of the defendants as is |
always the case in similar suits. Either |
the papers are made out wrong or the !
jury disagree is the way they terminate.
The first case on the docket was that |
of l.. Duggan and the jury acquitted |
him on account Of the charge being |
that he was running a saloon and kept !
the door open on a certain Sunday, in
stead of the bar to his hotel being kept |
open. This seems about as reasonable !
as man being tried for murder and [
the complaint reading that he used an
AK in doing the deed. when the evidence
showed that instead, he used a club.
The jury could not help but find him
guilty. The second case on the docket
was that Of A. +. Jackson for the same
offense, the jury standing three for ac-
quittal and three that he was guilty.
The charges against VIM. Barrett. John
Sexton and Chas. Emery will have n
hearing Tuesday, March A. These five |
cases are test cases and if the prosecu-
ton fails in all it seems as though there
is not much use in bringing up more
charges.
